Ronald F. Roma Mayor

Beachwood, NJ

As residents we all share a common vision. We want our community to be thought of as the best place to live and raise a family and have it represented in a positive friendly manner. I believe that Beachwood is the best place to live and raise a family.

Our goal as Beachwood’s elected official is, has been and will continue to be, to represent our community positively and to act on initiatives that will keep Beachwood both successful and strong in years to come.

One way that you too can impact your community is to get involved by volunteering. It is truly one of the best ways to join in shaping the future of the town in which we live and raise our children and grandchildren. Volunteering, allows everyone to play a key role in shaping the social atmosphere as well as giving you a feeling of pride and ownership in your community.

Please help us continue to make Beachwood the best place to live, work and raise our children by joining our local boards, commissions or committees, by participating in your local organizations that promote strong goals for your children and by joining and supporting all of our volunteer organizations.

It is an honor and privilege to have been able to serve as Councilman and now as your Mayor and I know that your Governing Body will do it’s very best to represent Beachwood as the positive productive community we know it to be.


Respectfully yours,

Ron Roma,
Mayor

ATTENTION BEACHWOOD RESIDENTS

New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign Provides Free Tree Seedlings to Residents in Borough of Beachwood Free tree seedlings will be available to Borough of Beachwood residents in the month of April as part of the New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign. This program helps communities replace trees damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. From 9am to 12pm on April 5, 2014, residents will be able to pick up tree seedlings at the Borough Hall Parking Lot; 1600 Pinewald Road, Beachwood. Seedlings, available on a first come, first served basis, also come with instructions on how to store, care for, and plant them. The guides help residents choose the right place on a property to plant a tree while keeping in mind the tree’s full-grown size in the future. Residents should plant the seedlings within two days after pick-up in order to prevent the roots from drying out. The goal of the Tree Recovery Campaign is to distribute over 500,000 tree seedlings to New Jersey residents over the course of the next five years. It is a joint effort between Borough of Beachwood, the New Jersey State Forestry Services Community Forestry Program, The State Forest Nursery, New Jersey Soil Conservation Districts, Sustainable Jersey, and the Arbor Day Foundation. Arbor Day Foundation, FedEx, and BJ’s Wholesale Club provide financial support for the program. When properly planted and maintained, trees can be assets to a community. They improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood or business district, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits. Residents must provide proof of Beachwood Residency in order to obtain seedlings. If you have any questions please contact Environmental Shade Tree Commission at envshadetree@beachwoodusa.com or the Borough Clerk, Sue Minock at sminock@beachwoodusa.com
